Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
I can’t imagine this won’t sell pretty quickly.
“1948 Willys CJ2a
In complete restored condition
I bought this vehicle about a year ago for my elder mom as she always wanted a old red jeep of her own ( even though she’s way too old to drive) Now its tough for her to even walk out to see it.
It is a museum quality jeep, AS nice as they come.
Actually located in Sonora Calif”
UPDATE: May not be free after all.
Roger Martin spotted this Free hardtop.

Example of a glove box and data plates from Tom’s collection. Each have a serial and date of delivery on the glove box lid.
Tom Furrer’s prized collection of GPW and MB glove box lids and tags were stolen as part of a robbery. Contact him through G503 with any questions: https://forums.g503.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=311501:
“To all my friends and fellow hobbyists in the Jeep world I need your help..
On November 1 Friday I was in Santa Rosa California helping my elderly mother who is 95 prepare to evacuate from the Kindle fire , we were one of 180,000 people told to prepare to evacuate. While I was down there my house that is in Columbia California was robbed and ransacked. I hadn’t even moved in yet yet these thieves got into my house ransacked the house and stole a lot of personal belongings of my mothers and myself ..
For many years by Elder father a World War II vet liked to tinker with jeeps and one of his hobbies was he collected data plates that where from both Ford and Willys Jeep‘s that were junked. When my father passed I continued with his hobby. By the time that he passed he had collected over 60 sets of these data plates most of which are still attached to the glove box doors.
Well these thieves got off with almost all of them and I need the help of every person in this hobby to be on the lookout for these plates. The thieves obviously know cars very well as they were able to move a locked vehicle out of the way to complete their crime. These plates will be extremely easy to identify and eventually I believe they’re going to end up in the hands of somebody who knows what they are and what their value is.
Please everybody keep your eyes open watch eBay watch swap meets. The identifying feature of every single plate is on the glove box door: the serial number and date of delivery written in black ink.
Please everybody keep a watch out I do believe over time they’re gonna turn up we’re too big of a family to let this kind of crap happen.
I Thank each and everyone of you.. Local sheriffs and law-enforcement are well aware of this and crime reports have been written.”

This article appears in Jalopnik on Friday. He’s struggling (emotionally) with selling two of his jeeps: A CJ-2A and a DJ-5. I don’t currently see the 2A listed for sale on FB.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
Thought used, this still looks fun for kids. It’s not quite stock anymore, as a bell is installed on the front bumper (sometimes an “H” is on the hood, other times a bell); the front bumper (bumper isn’t stock either). This appears to be missing the hose and ladder as well. There is more about Fire Jeep toys on the CJ-3B Page.
Here’s a semi-restored Fire Patrol jeep that I believe shows how it should actually look:
Jordan spotted this later model DJ-3A that’s been mistakenly listed as a 1945.

“52 M38 military Jeep. Runs, drives and stops. Power steering. Buick V6. motor. Aluminum radiator. New NDT tires”
Someone created this custom Commando out of what was probably a rusted body.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/458282124826200/
“V6 225 3 speed T14 manual transmission. It was redone to look nice with rustoleum tractor red paint and filler. It has wood floor and homemade truck bed. I redid brakes and have it running well. Plow pump was removed. Unique and road worthy, but not highway worthy yet. Not many out there and would be great off-road as 4wd works.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
A good price, especially if you are looking for some updated running gear for a flattie.

“My grandfather restored it back in late 90s and got it about 95 percent done. He got sick and it sat in his garage for 20 years. Not a numbers matching jeep and I am in the process of getting a title. Most everything was rebuilt engine axles and trans. Runs and stops. Steering is tight. Last year at Halloween we were pulling a hay wagon around and something in the rear end let loose. Only moves in front wheel drive. Entire jeep was taken apart and sandblasted no rust. Make me an offer.”
Tis the season for a snow removal commercial. This one must be about 60 years old.
An article was published late last week about a WWII veteran who restored a jeep. It’s a touching tribute by the daughter of the veteran about her father’s restoration of a WWII jeep. The one glaring issue is that the jeep isn’t a WWII jeep; it’s a CJ-2A.

This is listed at $14.00. It’s a two-sided comparison chart.

“1949. Willys Wagon. Complete drivetrain and chassis rebuild 300 miles ago. Have all the paperwork for work completed. Body and paint in fair condition. Interior is nice and clean. Runs and drives great. For sale or trade.”
Appears in good shape. It’s missing the front frame horns (possibly 3A frame). The key isn’t in the standard place, so it’s possible the body isn’t original.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/753472965124356/
“This is a real nice piece of history. Body and interior are in excellent condition. Older restoration. Purchased from a large estate. Runs and drives great. Starts at the turn of the key. This is a rare find. Lentzusedvehicles.com”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Given it runs and has a plow, this might be worth a look.
“Vintage Willys Jeep with plow. Good runner. No brakes.”
